I purchased Airbeam for the sole purpose of using to use a live audience feed onto the big screens at this years New Years eve bash. I used Airbeam at home for the past two weeks without a problem. Instant hookup. But the day of the gig arrived and there was nothing I could do to get this program to work. This was extremely embarrassing and I believe I lost the next NYE gig because I boasted about how cool it would be to incorporate this into my VJ show. I tried the ip address manual fix , the URL fix and nothing worked.I tried all listed troubleshooting techniques except for trying to call the company on New Years Eve which was not going to help I assure you. I tested my Ipad and Mac and they were both working and Safari was totally usable. I was online and the internet was great. So tell me if there are any other apps out there like this one that actually works…please. I cannot tell you how bad of a failure I felt after trying to get this Airbeam to work….in front of 580 ppl.

When I run Airbeam 1.4 on my phone, which is the latest version. This Mac App says that it cannot view the phone's video because the Airbeam software is a different version, and it tells me to upgrade the airbeam software. I can view the video through a browser, but not through this app. So this app is pretty much useless until they fix the bug. The iPhone software seems to be functioning correctly, but this Mac client is not. It is frustrating though, because you can SEE the camera, and the motion detection works… you just cannot click to view the camera in normal full sized video display. So just use your browser to view your airbeam cameras.Anyway, what would REALLY be usefull is to be able to view the Mac's camera on a mobile device. And to be able to do so, even when you don't happen to be on the same network. Right now this does not seem to be very useful unless you are just setting up a baby monitor.

This app is easy to configure and use, but:1. Passwords are automatically saved for each camera, with no way to remove them.2. Internet-based cameras are not able to be saved and must be manually entered every time that you connect.3. Very limited feature-set. It would be really nice to have more options for configuration in terms of motion detection, etc.4. Brightness on iOS devices is automatically set to a very low level if the app is left running in the background.5. No option to display list of cameras, only large, clunky icons that require scrolling if the app isn't running maximized.With those complaints out of the way, it's a good app that is easy to set up and use, including configuration for viewing from the Internet (provided that you know what you are doing with port-forwarding and dynamic DNS. I hope to see future versions that improve the functionality and usability of this cool app!

We recently upgraded an i-phone 3GS to the new 4S model. We mounted the old i-phone with a gorilla pod on our sturdi shelter as a sort of baby cam for our litter of new kittens. We can monitor the mom and kittens from anywhere in the house on our wireless network. The portion of the App for the monitoring devices was free and we have downloaded several of them. The app for the recording device was only $3.99. Even cooler is the fact that friends outside of our network can see "Kitten-Cam" from the web by typing in the IP addresse we provide them with. We were able to check in on the fur kids while out to brunch when they were only two days old by accesing our home IP addresse from our other I-phones. Very cool!
